Miracle-Ear helps stop the hearing loss thief

Published 6:00 pm, Monday, February 7, 2011

Hearing loss is the quiet, whispering thief of self-confidence and the simple pleasure of communication.

Hearing loss is the slow disabler of lives and relationships. Hearing loss gets away with far more damage than it ever should. Too many people allow hearing loss to take away more than sounds.

There are more than 28 million Americans with a measurable hearing loss.

One out of four people age 51 and older has some sort of hearing impairment. The cause of hearing loss can vary. Genetics, environment, injury, infection and sometimes something as simple as wax build-up can all cause hearing loss.

Hearing loss can be slow and subtle. It can slowly isolate you from people you enjoy being with and things you enjoy doing. Hearing loss can affect work performance, personal relationships, social activities and your confidence.

No hearing system can completely restore natural hearing. But hearing aids can restore the natural interaction, activities and joys in your life.

For more than 60 years, Miracle-Ear has offered some of the most comprehensive services and advanced products to one individual customer at a time. In the last few years, digital technology has advanced hearing aid capabilities enormously. Miracle-Ear has led that advance with clear innovations and standard-setting products.

Many models are also Bluetooth compatible, allowing hearing aids to be connected to cell phones, television or other audio devices.
